The Siberia region begins to thaw

The European Aeronautics Agency (ESA) said for the first time since 11,000 years, the vast Siberia region has begun to thaw, revealing a 4,000-kilometer stretch of green pasture that is visible through the satellite photo.

Siberia stretches from the Uranian Range to the West to Okhot Sea in the East, from the Arctic Ocean to the borders of Kazakstan, Mongolia and China. This frozen year-round land is strongly affected by global warming. Statistics show that in some parts of Siberia temperatures have increased by 3 degrees Celsius in the past 40 years.

Western Siberia is the largest concentration of peat reserves in the world. According to ESA, these coal mines contain billions of tons of greenhouse gases such as metal and CO2, and when the ice melts, they will escape to the atmosphere, contributing significantly to warming the Earth's climate. .
